Are you sick of the stock "Zero" sounds?

[OBIO]

I really need to go through the sound library and compare it to my collection...I know I have a lot of combinations put together that will fill a lot of voids.

Obio,

Part of my doing that was to get exactly this kind of response. The result? Hook---line---sinker. :d If you would like some examples to play with, I'll be glad to send you some stuff.

Another very widely-used engine was the Gnome-Rhone 14-series of radial engines.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5188 (Single and twin)

The 14K Mistral major was used in the PZL P-24 fighter, as well as the Bloch 200-series bombers, the Amiot 143, and the Farman F.222 bomber.

Its derivatives were used to power a slew of Italian types, including some of the Savoia-Marchetti Sm-79 and Sm-81 bombers, the Breda Ba-65 and Ba-88, the Reggiane Re-2000, the Reggiane Re-2002, the Piaggio P.108, and the Cant Z 1007 bomber. These engines were known as the Piaggio P.XI series.

Obio's sound pack: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12102

(There is not a four-engined sound pack for the P.108, sorry!)

In addition, the engines that powered the Russian Ilyushin DB-3 and IL-4 bombers, along with early versions of the Sukhoi Su-2, were also derivatives of the Gnome-Rhone design. For that matter, so was the Nakajima Sakae that would power the Zero and the majority of other Japanese aircraft, though that's been covered by separate packs.

The 14 M/N series was about the limit of the design, and that type powered the Bloch 152 fighter, the Messerschmitt 323 'Gigant,' the Liore et Oliver LeO-45 series of bombers, the Henschel Hs-129, the Bloch 174, the Amiot 351, the Romanian IAR-80 fighter, and the Potez 630 series of fighter-bombers.

The Bramo 323 'Fafnir' was a widely-used engine used by the Germans, especially in the early part of the war. Versions of this engine powered the Dornier Do-17, specifically the 'M' and 'Z' series, as well as the Dornier Do-24, and the Focke-Wulf Fw-200 Kondor.

Obio's triple-engined version here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12002

There is not a single-engined pack, but there also isn't an aircraft that requires it.

The BMW 132 radial was another engine that was widely-used in transports and other aircraft. This engined powered the Henschel Hs-123, the Heinkel He-115 seaplane, the Junkers Ju-52 transport, late versions of the Junkers Ju-86, the 'P' series of the Dornier Do-17, and the Arado Ar-196 seaplane.

The Alfa Romeo RC 126 was one of the myriad of engine types that powered versions of the Savoia-Marchetti Sm-series of tri-motor bombers and transports.

Triple sound pack: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6017

The Fiat A.74 was the main radial engine that powered Italian fighters throughout much of the early-to-mid war period. These included the Macchi Mc-200 and Fiat G-50 fighters, as well as the Cr-42 biplane fighter. These engines also powered the Fiat Br-20 'Cicogna' bomber, one of their main level bombers during the war.

Now, as far as the Japanese are concerned, they also used many types of radial engines.

First among the list is the Nakajima Sakae radial engines which powered the legendary A6M 'Zero' fighter, the J1N1 'Gecko,' and the Nakajima B5N 'Kate.'

12 series: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=4373
21 series: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7303

Solobo's version: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7336

The Nakajima Ha 45 Homare was a powerful radial engine used by the Japanese for two of their very good fighter designs, the Kawaniski N1K 'George' and the Nakajima Ki-84 'Hayate,' along with certain versions of the Yokosuka P1Y1 'Frances.'

Solobo's version III: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7444

The Mitsubishi Kensai was another radial design, used to great effect in the Aichi D3A 'Val,' the Aichi E13 'Jake,' and the Mitsubishi G3M 'Nell' level bomber.

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5130 (Single).

There is no twin sound pack for this version.

A four-engined is available for the Kawanishi H6K 'Mavis': http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=12004

Adopted by Kawasaki, their Ha-series were essentially licensed-built versions of the Nakajima Sakae radial engine. These engines were used in the Kawasaki Ki-100, the Mitsubishi Ki-21 'Sally,' the Nakajima Ki-44, the Kawasaki Ki-45 'Toryu,' the Kawasaki Ki-46 'Dinah,' the Ki-102 'Randy,' the Ki-67 'Peggy,' the Ki-48 'Lilly,' and the Nakajima Ki-43 'Oscar.'

You can find the sound pack here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7240

Ki-100 version (Ha-112): http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7179

Ha-115 version for the Ki-44 'Tojo': http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=13780 (inside is a single and a twin version for the Ki-49 'Helen').

The Mitsubishi Kasei was an engine used in the G4M 'Betty' long-range bomber, as well as the J2M 'Raiden' the Nakajima B6N2 'Tenzan,' certain versions of the Yokosuka P1Y1 'Frances,' and the H8K 'Emily' flying boat.

There is a soundpack for multiple engines, found here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=13438

However, there is not a single-engined version.

There is also no sound pack for the small Mitsubishi 'Zuisei' engine which powered early versions of the A6M Zero, as well as the Ki-30 'Ann.'

Okay...let's finish up the radial engines here.

The BMW 801 series powered some of the late-model Ju-88s, as well most versions of the Ju-188, some versions of the Ju-290 and -390 series, along with the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 'A' and 'F' series and the Dornier Do-217.

Single and twin: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5855

No larger engine-sized packs exist for this model, but it's not a huge deal.

The Shevstov M-82 radial engine powered the radial-engined Lavochkin series of fighters, as well as later models of the Suhkoi Su-2 and all versions of the Tupolev Tu-2.

Location: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5850

Now, from the American perspective, the R-2800 Double Wasp was another widely-used radial engine. It powered all examples of the Grumman F6F Hellcat, the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, the Martin B-26 Marauder, the Lockheed Ventura, the Northrop P-61 Black Widow, and the Vought F4U Corsair.

P-47: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5947

B-26: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=4442

There are other versions that come with various versions of Donationware Corsairs here at the Outhouse.

And lastly, the Pratt & Whitney R-3350 powered the Boeing B-29 Superfortress.

I'll take care of the inline engines in a day or two.

If you have any aircraft that had radial engines that I missed or you're not sure of, feel free to ask or research them on your own.

 

[Fibber]

To go along with this thread here is a interesting reference website on what engine went with what aircraft.

Fantastic Post!:ernae:

 

[Pips]

Brilliant Rami, may thanks.

 

[Rami]

I had to add a few planes to the list, I missed a few last night.

 

[Rami]

Now let's look at some inline engines. The Allison V-1710 powered many aircraft of World War II, most notably several prominent American, British, and Soviet types. These include the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Bell P-39 Airacobra, the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk / Kittyhawk / Warhawk, the North American P-51a / A-36 Mustang / Apache, and the Bell P-63 Airacobra.

Sounds for the P-38: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6213

Sounds for the P-39: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=4251 (Version I)

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7090 (Version II)

Sounds for the P-40: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6476 (Version I)

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=11736 (Version II)

The P-40 sounds would be appropriate for an early-series Mustang / Apache, as well. For the P-63, I'd use perhaps the version II sound pack of the P-39 to give me some differential between that and the P-39. I also do the same thing to create different sounds for an early Tomahawk versus a late Warhawk.

 

[Fibber]

Rami;
You might already be aware of this site but here is a spread sheet type listing of specs of major aircraft used in WW2. Good for comparisons and reference when setting up centralized sound folder.
http://www.acepilots.com/planes/specs.html

 

[Rami]

Fibber,

That's one of my source materials, yes. Part of my goal here is to also show people where to get these sounds.

The Hispano-Suiza 12Y-series was an engine that powered the best French production fighter of 1940, the Dewoitine D-520. This engine also powered the Morane-Saulnier Ms-406, and the Avia B-534, as well as the Latecoere 298 seaplane, the Rogozarski IK-3, and the Arsenal VG-33.

Soundpack: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6049

The most important derivative of the Hispano-Suiza was a license-built upgraded Russian version known as the Klimov VK-100 series. In various forms and specifications, it powered a slew of Soviet designs throughout the war. Early examples powered the Tupovlev Sb-2 bomber, while later examples powered the Petlyakov Pe-2, the Lavochkin LaGG-3, and the entire line of main production Yakovlev fighters, the Yak-1, Yak-7, Yak-9, and Yak-3.

Soundpack here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5848

No public twin sound configs exist for these sound packs, but I think I might have a twin sound config for the Russian version.

The Napier Sabre 24-cylinder engine, though not without its troubles, proved eventually to be a reliable engine that powered the Hawker Typhoon and the Hawker Tempest.

You can find a sound pack here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5876

The Rolls-Royce Griffon engine was another very powerful engine and unlike the Napier Sabre, it did not have as many development troubles. The Griffon would power a handful of late-war Spitfire variants, especially the Mk. XII and XIV. In addition, this engine would also power late versions of the Seafire naval variant, and the Fairey Firefly carrier-based fighter.

The Junkers Jumo 211 series inline engine was the main bomber engine of the German Luftwaffe. This engine version powered most WWII variants of the Heinkel He-111, as well as the Junkers Ju-88a series of bombers. Of course, this was also the primary powerplant of the Ju-87 Stuka. Some modified Sm-79s were also powered by the Junkers Jumo 211, these were known as IAR-79s.

The soundpack is found here, for single-engined designs: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=5762

Fot twin-engined designs: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=7317

The Junkers Jumo 213 was a late-war variant of the engine listed above. Examples of this engine powered the 'Dora' variant of the Focke-Wulf Fw-190, as well as the Ta-152 'H' high-altitude variant. This engine also powered some variants of the Ju-188, Ju-88, and the Ta-154, which of course was the designed German equivelant of the British Mosquito.

The Mikulin Am-35 was an engine that powered the Mikoyan-Gurevich series of WWII interceptors, the MiG-1 and MiG-3. But more importantly, the Mikulin Am-35 and Am-38 powered the IL-2 Sturmovik series of strike aircraft. (Some versions of the Petlyakov Pe-8 bomber was also powered by this type, alongside other versions powered by the Shvetsov M-82 radial)

There's no sound pack for this engine that exists in freeware, though the Sky Unlimited MiG-3 does come with this sound pack.

Let's see...the only other significant entry is the Fiat A.30RAbis, which powered the Fiat Cr-32 biplane fighter.

A sound pack for this can be found here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=6019

(In case you haven't noticed, I'm saving the best for last...the Daimler-Benz DB-600 series and the Rolls-Royce Merlin)

 

[Rami]

The Rolls-Royce Merlin, in its various forms, was the most widely-used British engine of World War two. Constantly upgraded, it was used from the beginning of the war to its end. It was used in certain versions of the Bristol Beaufighter, the Vickers Wellington, the Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley, the Handley-Page Halifax, the Avro Lancaster, the DeHavilland Mosquito, the Fairey Battle, the Boulton-Paul Defiant, the Fairey Fulmar, the Fairey Barracuda, the Hawker Hurricane, and its most widely-used derivative, the Packard-Merlin, powered a couple versions of the P-40 Warhawk and most versions of the North American P-51 Mustang.

Packard-Merlin, version II: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/downloads/download.php?lloc=downloads&FileID=11662

There is also a soundpack that comes with the Seafire found at Flightsim (sfsound.zip) that could respresent a Merlin 45 series.

Still others are found with the Sky Unlimited Spitfire Mk. V, and the AH Spitfire Mk. I, (It was a Christmas present back in 2005, or 2006, I think) which would cover a Merlin 49 and a Merlin III, respectively.

A four-engined sound pack is also found in the DamBusters Lancaster set, but there isn't a freeware version.

The Rolls-Royce Peregrine was an upgraded version of the Kestrel which proved exceedingly problematic, and was only used with the Westland Whirlwind fighter.

Des Braban has released three versions of a Merlin sound pack for the Avro Lancaster. Versions 1 and 2 can be found at www.flightsim.com as lncsnd1.zip and lancsnds.zip, respectively. Version 3 can be found at www.avhistory.org as a two part set of files Lancaster_engine_sounds_Pt1.zip and Lancaster_engine_sounds_Pt2.zip. Versions 2 and 3 were actually created using recordings of the Packard Merlins of the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster.
My files show that all three were created for FS9 / FS2004 / ACOF, though version 1 is possibly just as happy in FS2002. What I have not yet confirmed myself is how well FS9 sound files work in CFS2, so this whole thing may be a bit of a red herring,
hope it does help,
